This library, which is consistent with the style of the entire city of Viña, exudes an undeniable sense of technology.

The library's exterior is a huge circle, with a silver-white streamlined shell wrapped in light strips, resembling a giant Easter egg.

Through the glass of the main entrance, Yin Zhu could easily see the situation on the first floor: the identity verification gates and the rows of neatly arranged bookshelves were empty, with no one moving around.

That makes sense. Why would a normal person come to such a gloomy place?

Because of this, Yin Zhu was even more confident. Since no one came, the contents of the books here were unlikely to be distorted or modified, and the content written in them was often more credible.

After repeatedly memorizing the rules at the library entrance, Yin Zhu finally mustered the courage to push open the door, skillfully ran the back of her hand across the machine, and entered the library.

The whole process was just as familiar to Yin Zhu as when she used her ID card at tourist attractions on Earth.

Since the indoor and outdoor lighting wasn't very good, Yin Zhu had already adjusted to the indoor lighting as soon as she entered.

The lighting inside the library wasn't very bright, but the ceiling was quite high off the ground, and it was hollow in the middle, making it clear that it was divided into two levels. The bookshelves on the second floor seemed to be arranged against the wall, curving slightly with the egg-shaped walls, which made Yin Zhu a little worried that the books might fall down.

To the left of the library entrance is the service area, where a humanoid administrator stands and smiles at Yin Zhu.

To the right of the main entrance are vending machines, and next to them is a designated rest area, seemingly for eating and drinking. Given that the rules once mentioned "no soiling the books," Yin Zhu felt that eating and reading here might not be a good idea.

She was looking for books related to humanities and history, and if there was still time, she would also like to read some myths.

Yin Zhu did not believe that the myths of the Unique Star and the Blue Star were exactly the same.

Considering that the Unspeakable may have added some kind of filter to what the Chosen Ones see, making the information they receive different from the actual information, Yin Zhu has reason to suspect that the Unspeakable is just using similar myths to apply the names of the myths of the Dragon Kingdom.

Just like the previous "Fu Bi Xing" that differed from the Book of Songs, anything that was even remotely related was applied, which, in a sense, could be considered a kind of cultural substitute.

As for the "dream god" mentioned by the indigenous people, Yin Zhu only had a general idea, but it could also be said that he had no clue: different ethnic groups have different dream gods, and even the same ethnic group may have different beliefs at different times.

The most famous person associated with dreams in the Dragon Kingdom is a man named Duke Zhou. However, there are also star-shaped dream gods and legendary dream gods in folklore. In the legends of the Old World, the dream god is believed to be the child of the goddess who controls the night and the god of sleep. But who can guarantee that there are no legends about dream gods in the tropical continent?

As for the Cherry Blossom Country, the Peacock Country, and others, they all have their own myths. Yin Zhu has not learned about them in detail and dares not make any comments, but she presumably believes that people all over the world share the same logic in creating myths.

If we analyze it solely from Zhou Gong's perspective, combined with the unspeakable, consistent, and rigid application of rules, Yin Zhu could immediately be certain that butterflies would appear in the library.

If we consider things more rigorously, there are far too many options.

This is one of the main reasons why Yin Zhu wanted to find books on mythology—Yin Zhu desperately needed to confirm how different the mythology of this world was from that of Earth.

The library seemed to be a very safe place. Even though Yin Zhu stood there pondering and observing, she did not encounter any unexpected events, which gave her more time to concentrate on her thoughts.

Having identified the suspicious points and the target, Yin Zhu headed straight for the historical area.

Most of the books in the history section were quite thick, with only a few appearing thin. However, under everyone's gaze, Yin Zhu picked up a very thick book, "The Founding of the City of Vina," and began reading it while leaning against the wall.

...

"Has Yin Zhu gone mad? Why is she carrying such a thick book? Doesn't she know that she has to finish reading the book before she can leave?"

"For those who are new to the live stream and don't know the rules, here's a reminder about the library: [4. After entering the library, please select at least one book and read it completely, otherwise you will not be able to leave the library.]"

"Yes, it's better to read thinner books."

"Is this chosen one really that smart? I think I'm better than her, at least I wouldn't choose a very thick book."

"??? What are you talking about?"

"Some people are chosen by the Unspeakable because they are too smart; some people are not even considered by the Unspeakable because their intelligence is simply not up to par."

Who are you insulting?

"It's amazing that some people can actually relate to such vague descriptions that don't name names."

"Hahahaha, isn't this just like 'I don't know who you're really cursing?', a classic review of Russian jokes."

"Although I don't understand it either, I believe Sister Sun must have her own judgment!"

"I interrupted the tape recorder. I think there must be something wrong with these thin books. Anyone who has been to school knows that if there are three long and one short options, choose the shortest one; if there are three short and one long options, choose the longest one. These kinds of options that are obviously meant to give you a choice seem more like a trap."

"Maybe you're on the first floor while the library is already on the fifth. The manager behind it guessed Yin Zhu's reaction and deliberately lured her to choose books with a lot of content."

"Brother, you've messed up the script. The supervisor is from the previous instance."

"Maybe next is a nested doll. Although Yin Zhu has seen through the library's judgment, Yin Zhu still chose this book to lure out the unspeakable big fish."

"It's all a mess... I can't keep up with your logic anymore..."

Yin Zhu was naturally unaware of what was happening outside the live stream. One of the main reasons she read this book was that it told the story of the city of Vena, and the back of the book also contained some content about gods.

The fact that the author's name is not a string of numbers and letters suggests that the book was published a long time ago.

When Yin Zhu was previously interacting with the Benevolent Spirit Official, she noticed that her identity was displayed with a string of numbers, "D-16-7525," with the note "Entered." As for what the numbers represented, Yin Zhu thought they were probably randomly generated by the system and there was no need to overanalyze them.

From the moment Yin Zhu opened the book, she sensed a familiar feeling.

She looked up alertly and glanced around, only to find that nothing had changed. It was still the same empty library except for herself. If you counted the humanoid creature at the front desk, whose identity was uncertain, there were only two people.

"Am I just overthinking it?" Yin Zhu muttered to herself.
